Splux Linux

SPS Linux live images for 2026-09-01-6.

Use these instead of -5.

-5 died in setup when pkin hit usr-merge /lib (/lib exists and is not a directory) and unowned live seeds (/usr/bin/openssl, busybox applets clear/tset). pkin now walks usr-merge and filesystem compat links as shared directories, replaces unowned live binaries, and keeps host-seeded /etc (openssl.cnf, CA certs) with .sps-new. Upgrade cleanup consults the installed database so shared directories stay. src update, sget, and mkpkg curl print progress.

alsa-utils 5 installs udev rules under /usr/lib/udev/rules.d.

--install-bootloader on EFI still writes \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI. Live PID 1 on this host is busybox init.

Images

• sps-live-tty.iso — recipes plus a host seed compiler and kernel modules. Flash this for a daily-driver install.
• sps-live-tty-slim.iso — no seed compiler, no kernel modules. Small download / QEMU.
• sps-live-plasma.iso — tty image plus a host Plasma/Wayland stack.

Package definitions are in sps-core and sps-extra.
